OUR SERVICES
BUSINESS ADVISORY & CFO SERVICES
In the current competitive environment it is important to see the financial effect of the decisions and track it consinously with the actual progress made. Most of the time, business owners and decision makers are involved in securing business and its execution while little focus is paid to the financial effect of the decisions made. With proper cash flow planning and with the help of accurate and real time financial data, businesses can ensure to stay within budget and execute the contracts profitably. This is more and more important as businesses have little control over the price of the final product which is determined by the market. Our CFO services are customised to provide you with the relevant support to address this. We will train and appoint the accounting staff, manage cash flow, supervise the accounting process, ensure taxation and other compliance requirements are fulfilled and provide you with appropriate reports at regular intervals. We can even represent you in meetings with banks and other stakeholders including review of commercial contracts.
DIFC Finance Officer
All DFSA regulated entities are required to have a Finance Officer to not only manage the company financials but also liaise with the regulator on various issues. We have the necessary experience and understanding of the DIFC rules and regulations to be able to offer you these services.
DUE DILIGENCE AND M&A ADVISORY
If you are considering buying a new business/asset or selling your business either wholly or partially, we can be your buy or sell side advisor (as the case may be) and provide you with reliable, comprehensive background information on the proposed transaction. As sell side advisor, we can handle the complete process of sending out teaser to preparation of detailed Information Memorandum (IM) and conducting an internal valuation as per universally accepted principles and help you doing investor presentation, due diligence (both financial and legal) and assist in negotiating key commercial terms for the final agreement.
TAX ADVISORY
With the introduction of Corporate tax in UAE in addition to the Value added tax already in place, it has become even more important to maintain up to date financial records to be able to comply with the regulations. We are able to offer (either separately or as part of CFO services), a complete management of your taxation issues including registering, maintaining, filing and even assisting in any queries raised by the relevant authorities.
CORPORATE FINANCE
From raising capital to debt restructuring, we assist our clients in preparing the requisite documents/proposals including business plan to secure credit facilities from both banks and financial institutions and in certain cases, from private investors.
OTHER SERVICES
Apart from the above listed services, we can provide related ancillary services through our partner firms in UAE including accounting and bookkeeping, company set up and PRO services, auditing and assurance and legal advice to help you save significant time and efforts in dealing with multiple advisors.
